StatusCake

freemium From $0/mo · Founded 2012 · cloud

Long-running freemium uptime tool — uptime + SSL + domain expiry in one dashboard.

Free tier: 10 tests, 5-min checks

What it does well

  • Free tier includes 10 checks at a 5-minute interval, which is quite functional.
  • Combines uptime, SSL, and domain expiry monitoring in one integrated service.
  • Offers a wide range of global test locations for uptime checks.

Where it falls short

  • Check intervals below 5 minutes require a paid plan.
  • Lacks advanced features like real user monitoring (RUM) or complex transaction monitoring.
  • The user interface can feel dated compared to newer monitoring platforms.
